Retailer PPS
Online travel agencies (OTAs) and Travel Management Companies (TMCs) rely heavily on competitive insights to understand the landscape of published and private airfares.
Published airfares are those available to the public, while private airfares are typically offered exclusively to certain groups, such as loyalty program members or corporate clients. By analysing published and private airfares, OTAs and TMCs can gain a deeper understanding of pricing strategies used by airlines and other competitors and adjust their pricing strategies accordingly. This allows them to offer competitive pricing to their customers and remain relevant. Competitive insight into airfares can also help identify market trends and opportunities, such as new routes or destinations, and adjust their business strategies accordingly. In short, competitive insight into published and private airfares is crucial for OTAs and TMCs to succeed and grow in the competitive travel industry.
Retailer PPS allows Distribution and Retail teams to benchmark published or private airfares against competitor online travel agencies (OTAs), metasearch engines (MSEs) and airline websites and analyse market and carrier trends.
With Retailer PPS, Distribution and Retail teams can easily benchmark prices across their whole distribution network or by looking at specific markets, routes, or airlines. Using our comprehensive airfare data and blending it with the OTA or TMC specificities, the product offers a fully tailored benchmark solution to optimise pricing and maximise revenues.
